..Thus, anatomical brain changes may contribute to specific cognitive deficits associated with VPT birth and could be used in the identification of those individuals who may be at increased risk for cognitive impairment...

Altered functional neuroanatomy of response inhibition in adolescent males who were born very preterm

..To examine the growth of the corpus callosum between adolescence and early adulthood in individuals who were born before 33 weeks' gestation (very preterm [VPT]) and its relation to neuropsychological function...

The neural basis of response inhibition and attention allocation as mediated by gestational age

..Delta-9-THC and CBD can have opposite effects on regional brain function, which may underlie their different symptomatic and behavioral effects, and CBD's ability to block the psychotogenic effects of Delta-9-THC...

Diffusion tensor MRI of the corpus callosum and cognitive function in adults born preterm

..The groups demonstrated different patterns of correlations between verbal learning and tract-specific FA and MD, consistent with the reorganization of white matter structure in adults born very preterm...

Neural substrates of letter fluency processing in young adults who were born very preterm: alterations in frontal and striatal regions

Chiara NosartiDepartment of Psychiatry, Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health, Institute of Psychiatry and King s College London, London, UKNeuroimage 47:1904-13. 2009

..However, fMRI results were only partly explained by structural changes, and may reflect processes of functional plasticity for the successful completion of executive-type operations...

Preterm birth and adolescent social functioning-alterations in emotion-processing brain areas

..Our observations were in a context that required participants to switch between languages. They motivate future fMRI studies to test whether first language reading is also altered in contexts when the second language is not in use...

Amygdala, hippocampal and corpus callosum size following severe early institutional deprivation: the English and Romanian Adoptees study pilot

..Vermis volume was less strongly related to cognitive function. Volume decrement of the lateral lobes, rather than the vermis, is associated with neuropsychological dysfunction in very preterm individuals...

Modulation of mediotemporal and ventrostriatal function in humans by Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol: a neural basis for the effects of Cannabis sativa on learning and psychosis

..Cannabis sativa use can impair verbal learning, provoke acute psychosis, and increase the risk of schizophrenia. It is unclear where C. sativa acts in the human brain to modulate verbal learning and to induce psychotic symptoms...

Structural and functional brain correlates of behavioral outcomes during adolescence

..The present study sought to examine hippocampal volume and subregional morphology in patients with major depressive disorder, who were all medication-free and in an acute depressive episode of moderate severity...

Who benefits?: distress, adjustment and benefit-finding among breast cancer survivors
